Prado, 131hp

[boybi]

why didn't toyota give the prado a more powerful engine? how can it compete with pajero's, patrol's and trooper's much powerful engines?

[krscla]

Medyo nagtaka nga ako kung bakit 131 hp lang yung engine ng Prado. Naisip ko na baka may iba itong features na wala sa iba. Meron nga ba...? P2.4 M ito diba...? :D

[boybi]

2.4+M M/T
2.5+M A/T

carryover kasi yung turbodiesel engine nung prado (it's the same engine as on the previous prado). i'm guessing toyota will be releasing a new turbodiesel after some time (the current one doesn't have direct injection and other features); looks like the engineering team focused on the gas engine (the 4.0L V6), maybe because gasoline-happy america is the prado's largest market

MBT,
let say we are just more environment friendly...hehehe....and one more thing we dont have Prado's here in U.S. , we have the Land Cruisers...you know cars here are sometimes overrated or underrated...
peace out

there are no prado's in the US what you have are its brothers. the new 4runner and the Lexus GX470. they have the same chassis, suspension. the difference is the engine, and the interior grades. the GX and the prado have the same body only the front end is different.

pwede bang magcarryover yun 3.6 V6 namin from old prado to a new one if we buy one?

[mbt]

i meant the "Prados in the US" -- the Lexus GX and the 4Runner (actually, just the 4Runner since the GX doesn't carry the V6) :D hehe

New local Prado engine upgraded to electronic injection, which means more efficient and slightly higher hp and torque. On a weight to hp ratio, the Prado wins over Patrol.

what specific engine is in the prado?

No, production line is set with the all new engine and body design.

Olive Drab::: The Prado (LC120) has 1KZ-TE turbocharged and intercooled diesel engine.

Dont concern yourselves too much on the HP ratings... its the torque which drives you....

[notEworthy27]

how important is the HP ratings as compared to torque? hehe :D

[boybi]

Torque:
Isuzu Trooper: Diesel = 340Nm/2000rpm
Mitsubishi Pajero: Diesel = 378Nm/2000rpm, Gas = 337Nm/3750rpm
Nissan Patrol: Diesel = 354Nm/2000rpm, Gas = 350Nm/4400rpm

Toyota Prado: Diesel = 343Nm/2000Nm

oo nga ano, bakit mas mataas torque ng prado kesa trooper? tapos ang layo ng hp rating?

[Ungas]

Engine design output depending on the bore & stroke of pistons determine the torque and power output. While some even point out that the cylinder head design also contributes.

[pajerokid]

noteworthy::: Yung HP ratings pangbenta lang yan ng auto.... torque represents the pulling power of your engine. ForcexDistance if i recall correctly. hehe i should have paid more attention in my engineering classes...

[tebs]

pk, work yang formula mo! :D hehehe

force X radius = torque
torque ang nagpapaikot sa gulong. umiikot kasi yun e, kaya radius ang gamit.

[RedHorse]

mukhang newly grad ka a, fresh pa sa utak mo ang physics.. he he

[pajerokid]

kaya ako nakick-out sa Eng'g eh hehehehe

Strange I thought the new prados 3.0 turbodiesel engine
had 160 hp already.

How come its 131 hp here. Baka ibang makina yan?
